    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to do an in-depth analysis of genre-texts of political articles in newspapers. The genre theoretical approach is employed as framework for analysing the linguistic, rhetorical and discourse properties of isiZulu texts, giving a demonstration of a more general theory of genre analysis in writing, advanced by different writers. The genrebased approach to literacy and language teachingwas explored. A general overview was given of genre in folklore, genre in linguistics, genre in rhetoric and general description of genres was provided. The parameters of writing, that is the "who writes, what, to whom, where, when, why and how", were utilised in each text under investigation. These parameters were used to assess the communicative writing competence of the author of each text. Aspects of the text analysis such as information structuring, topic structuring, coherence and cohesion, cognitive move structure and structural description have been employed. This study presents the findings of the analysis of the lIanga newspaper texts by describing the critical analysis of textlinguistic aspects through the examination of genre text and outcomes-based language teaching in Curriculum 2005.
